The Friendship Villages in the vicinity may be worth a visit as well. These are settlements set up by the Thai government for the former guerillas of the Malayan People's Liberation Army after the...
Dear folks,
On behalf of the Organising Committee, I would like to thank everyone for helping making this event a success. Despite the low key publicity, the event managed to attract an attendance...
And here's a variant .. with absolutely no mathematical value ..
As I was going to St. Ives
I met a man with seven wives
Of course, the seven wives weren't his
But here in France, that's how it...
This seems more like a test of English comprehension than a Math question ;)
Here's one from my primary school days:

Ada .. had it for quite a while already. Then again, I've been with the party since 2001.
I'm a card carrying member of a political party lah. Don't want to be accused of conspiring :D
Just a reminder that this is forum is on this coming Friday. YB Tian Chua won't be able to make it as he will be campaigning for the by-elections, so we'll be trying to get YB William Leong to give...
Actually it was HRH the Sultan of Terengganu that was subject to the insults. Incidentally, HRH is also the current DYMM Yang Dipertuan Agung.

The declaration of assets by Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and the state EXCO has been posted on the state government’s website (http://www.selangor.gov.my).
Might be a bit of conflict of interest if I do so publicly. Maybe we can get to discuss this when we meet up in person.
I was just watching the live proceedings of the Selangor State Assembly today and the State Minister for Local Government, YB Ronnie Liu, was being grilled about some of the problems that have arisen...
Merely an emotional reaction to criticism of the vernacular school system :D
I think you may have missed the context in which my original comments were made. Look a few posts further down to see my response to Orchi. My criticism of DJZ has nothing to do with whether or not...
The DJZ is also one of the organisations that is opposed to the teaching of Science and Math in English and have organised as well as well participated in public protests. I am also aware that they...
I am not sure if you folks are aware of this ..

A lot of the anecdotal arguments presented in this thread in support of the use of English in Science and Mathematics are well engaged in the following article:

Actually it is Tetingkap :)
But seriously .. is the issue the language or the pedagogical methods? I have to wonder that if I am trained to be sufficiently competent in a language, and also taught...
That would be fun :)
Mother tongue is a construct then? So the insistence on the primacy of Mandarin would be an obstinate refusal to adopt a perceived lesser construct, ie. Malay, as a valid mother tongue for Malaysians?
With the onset of the crisis that's affecting the global economy, what is the Federal and Selangor State government doing to help mitigate the effects on the local economy?

Personally I feel the implementation was flawed. It took 11 years to transition the vernacular of primary and secondary education from English to Malay; during which time sufficient time was provided...
